BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a rotary bed which can be directedtoward the position of the sun, and in particular the bed is directedtoward the position of the sun by rotational means.

2. Description of the Related Art

Generally a bed, which helps achieve a sound sleep and rest, is made upof an upper plate, an installed mattress and a pedestal that is made tostably support the upper plate. Also, in some cultures, the bed usuallypositions a head of a user toward the east when the bed is installed.While some users prefer their head be toward the east, others prefertheir head not be toward the east.

Many users are different, and frequently set the direction of their headby fate relative to their date of birth and oriental thoughts of thefive elements related to a physical feature.

The oriental concept of five elements is based on metal, wood, water,fire and earth, and it is desired to keep these elements in balance.Everything, including humans, must have a relationship with these fiveelements. They are even applied to years, months, days, hours, minutesand seconds of an oriental calender. Now, people are able to know theirfive-element weights from their date and time of birth.

The direction of their head is set by the position of the sun inaccordance with the fate relative to their date of birth and a magneticfield. That is, the fate relative to the date of birth, a magnetic fieldproduced around the earth and physical energy flow, that is kind ofmagnetic field following through the body, influence the direction thehead is positioned.

If the positioning of a person's head is moderately set according to theposition of the sun in accordance with their date of birth and theearth's magnetic field sleep may become the most comfortable and restfulfor them. If the bed's size is so huge and heavy that once it isinstalled in the room it cannot be repositioned, restful sleep may behard to achieve.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Accordingly, present invention has been developed to solve the abovementioned problem of having to sleep in a bed having a fixed positiononce installed in a room.

In order to achieve the foregoing and/or other aspects of the presentinvention, the present invention provides a rotary bed which can bedirected toward a desired position. The rotary bed comprises a bedincluding a bed frame and a pedestal upon which the bed frame ismounted; and a rotary unit rotating the bed one complete revolution intwenty-four hours.

The rotary unit comprises a user control for setting an initial positionwith respect to a position of the sun; a rotational control responsiveto the user control for controlling bed rotation; and a motor anddecelerator for rotating the bed in a desired direction and speed.

The rotary bed may further comprise a rotational plate, the pedestalbeing positioned on the rotation plate, the rotational plate beingrotated by the rotary unit. Additionally, at least one set of tracks areembedded in the floor such that the rotation plate rotates on the set oftracks.

The rotary unit may be mounted within the pedestal such that the bedframe is rotated by the rotary unit. Additionally, the rotary bed myfurther comprise at least one set of tracks embedded in the pedestal,the bed being rotated on the set of tracks.

The rotary bed may further comprise a direction indicator on the bed,the direction indicator indicating the rotation position of the bed. Thedirection indicator may comprise a compass.

In other words, the present invention is installed rotational means atrevolution per 24 hour in accordance with the position of the sun.

Therefore, the present invention provides a sound sleep, as a userinstalls a rotary bed which can be directed toward the position of thesun, so the user can sleep in accordance with the position of the sun.

The process of operating the present invention is explained as follows.

As the bed's direction is rotated toward a sun's position in accordancewith user's setting and is installed rotational means, and a directionof the bed 500 is rotated according to the sun's direction because ofthe rotational means which is installed utilizing the rotational control200 which can control a bed being rotated by a regular angle at apredetermined number of revolutions per 24 hours, and user control 300which can help user to operate the rotational control 200. So, if userdesiring a more comfortable sleep is operating this present invention,he sets his head's direction and operates the user control 300 of thebed 500 in accordance with fate relative to the his date of birth andoriental thoughts of the five elements. The oriental thoughts is thatthe five elements should be in balance.

As was stated above, if a user sleeps by a setting the direction of bed500 initially in accordance with the position of the sun, the bed 500rotates in accordance with the position of the sun at one revolution per24 hours, so he is united together with the rotation of the earth by histhe physical feature in accordance with his fate relative to the date ofbirth and oriental thoughts of the five elements. Therefore. his sleepcan become restful because of he was united together with the earth'senergy.

Also as the head direction of a user is set, out of accordance withuser's fate relative to the date of birth and oriental thoughts of thefive elements, he can operate because of founding out his settingthrough the sleeping process of several time.

Therefore, the present invention provides a sound sleep, as a userinstalls a rotary bed which can be directed toward the position of thesun so the user can sleep in accordance with the position of the sun.
